A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

Nah just check the time, if it's noon you're good. If it ain't noon you check the news and make sure it isn't a scheduled one at 10am for some test because they're planning to replace the sirens with new equipment. If it ain't that because the internet's out then it's probably real but if not you got a moment to see if it's real for another reason

I legit think that every time I hear it "if I was a tornado thisd be when I'd do it tell ya hwhat"

Start by checking the weather outside. If it's sunny and clear, no tornado. If not, start looking - places I've been at least, they've been reluctant to test if there's even much cloud coverage.
